Modra zavarovalnica, d.d.
Modra
Modra is a travel insurance for the Slovenia market with online purchase and 24/7 assistance.
Direct payment
For serious illness, injury, hospitalisation or transport home, the assistance centre must be notified immediately; costs can then be settled directly with the provider if agreed, otherwise the insured pays first and claims reimbursement within 3 months of returning home. For minor cases, no assistance call is required and the insured pays and claims reimbursement directly.
Geographic scope
Worldwide, or Croatia only (selectable at inception); the extended "nujne in potrebne" tier covers worldwide excluding the USA, Switzerland, Australia and New Zealand unless an additional premium is paid.
Cover does not apply in Slovenia (except for the inbound "tujci v Sloveniji" product) or in the country where the insured has official permanent residence.
Unique selling points
- 24/7 assistance centre available in the Slovenian language, reducing communication barriers when arranging emergency care abroad.
- Chat or video consultation with a doctor available 24/7/365 for general health advice during the trip, when agreed in the contract.
- The extended tier can be purchased for travellers up to and including age 80, well above the age caps common on basic travel policies.
- The extended "nujne in potrebne" tier includes preventive check-ups, cancer-screening programmes, post-injury physiotherapy and prescribed optical aids abroad, benefits many competitors charge extra for or exclude entirely.
- Selected packages can be extended with optional "Prtljaga plus" (baggage/transport delay) and "Odgovornost v tujini" (personal liability) add-ons for broader protection in one policy.
